Casa Kaeli is a gorgeous beachfront home on the Bay of Banderas, between the very popular villages La Cruz & Bucerias (25 min from the Puerto Vallarta airport). Specially designed for casual tropical indoor-outdoor living and entertaining, w/gorgeous views, thatched palapa roofs, and a wonderful large, sparkling infiniti pool!

This home is a fantastic value, Accommodating 8 adults for much less than you'd pay for nice hotel rooms AND you can enjoy the luxury of a private custom home instead! Try on the "vallarta lifestyle" for yourselves! (Housekeeping and pool care included.)

Step into Casa Kaeli via a small courtyard with sparkling cantera & glass tile fountain. Become instantly captivated by this stunning, yet very comfortable, home! Quality finishes, furnishings, vibrant mexican art and decor as well as beautiful baths & unique lighting all add to this special vacation home.

Telescoping glass opens the great room completely to the oceanfront dining/grill terrace... all overlooking the Bay of Banderas! Upholstered banquet seating and comfy equipale chairs gather round the large handmade antique mesquite dining table. There's a round travertine game table for additional seating and fun times playing games (taking a little break from the pool & sun when you need to!) Often whales can be sighted from here, as well as kite sailers,sailboats & yachters.

The casa is wonderful for entertaining! A Jenn-Aire gas grill and serving bar under the palapa become one with the kitchen & greatroom merely by opening up the glass doors. A great area for gathering, enjoying meals and conversation during the day, this special terrace becomes magical at night, with the twinkling lights of Banderas Bay as a back-drop!!

From the dining terrace, enjoy looking onto the pool area & grassy lawn with chaise lounges below that lead to the beach. You can walk for miles... to Bucerias or all the way to Nuevo Vallarta, if so inclined!

On the pool level you'll find two great guest bedrooms (each with a king bed), a shared bath w/double sinks and walk-in shower, and palapa-fringed poolside terrace. A pretty master suite is on the main level, just off the living room, and features an ensuite bath. All three of these bedrooms have A/C, so they are wonderful places to "chill" for a while if the tropical afternoon sun gets to be too much.

The fourth bedroom is a beautiful palapa suite on the top level with very cool tropical style bath, featuring large walk-in shower with a view! Please note: by nature, palapa rooms can't efficient be air-conditioned, so fans are the method of keeping the air moving here.

Case Kaeli has it all: spacious areas to congregate and enjoy your vacation together, a large and beautiful pool, and private spaces where one can get away to themselves when they prefer!

Our housekeeper comes in twice a week, and pool care is included.

This is a sought-after area on the Bay of Banderas! Just 25 minutes north of the airport, in the northeast corner of the bay of Banderas, Casa Kaeli sits between the popular towns of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle (with new marina) and Bucerias.

Very close to the resort Punta Esmerelda, but in a private home. The beach is wonderful, and uncrowded still.

Luxury accommodation, however extremely comfortable and casual... a great place to "veg" in the tropical sun!! When you want action, it is not far away...

Wonderful'

August 18, 2014

The house was very relaxing. A good mix of ocean, pool, and lots of sun! We all fit comfortably in the house. It was a very peaceful location, near to other beaches and fresh fish areas. We enjoyed the barbecues, patio living, and the cool night dips in the pool. The rooms were all well furnished well and very clean. The housekeepers made our experience 100%. The people and place are hypnotizing Top notch and I hopefully we'll be back soon!

Owner's reply:

Thanks for your wonderful review, Megan! We appreciate what a great guest you were, and would certainly welcome you back to Casa Kaeli (or any of our houses) any time!

Owner Supplied Testimonials

Just wanted to drop you a quick note in regards to our stay at Casa
Kaeli (Feb 9 - 19) and extending a big thank you for opening up your
house for other to enjoy. Upon our arrival we were warmly greeted by
Feliz and Chevez. Then we were taken aback by the astounding view once
entering the casa. We loved the pool and swan 2 to 3 times a day. The
bedroom spaces worked out perfectly for our family. The indoor/outdoor
living space was such a treat and one of the best parts about the house.
Our entire extended family loved the house and the quietness that came
with it. Most of us were up to catch the amazing sunrises!

Beautiful and peaceful beach front retreat - secluded elegant casa, with stunning decor well suited for tropical living. Lounging in the infinity pool while watching the surf hit the beach was a favorite activity. Quick & easy access to sandy beach. Though away from traffic and "tourist" areas, location provides easy access to shopping and restaurants. Enjoying dinner while looking across the bay at the lights of Puerto Vallarta was another highlight.

Casa Kaeli has got to be one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. The views alone are worth a million bucks. The house was impecably decorated and the gardens beautiful. We got a kick out of the Lone Tomato plant growing in the grass area. Susan was a fantastic person to work with and answered all questions we had. Felize (The Maid) a treasure herself. I can see where she gets her name from. We travel to Bucerias annually and have stayed many places. I definately give this one a thumbs up! We hope to return next February.

Words are so limiting in being able to truly describe the beauty of my stay at Casa Kaeli. If a place can said to be spaciously cozy, it is this magnificent villa. All accommodations were perfect and very comfortable. Lazily soaking at bays edge of the infinity pool, while enjoying the rhythm of the gentle surf below, was one of my favorite activities. Yet there were so many other activities to enjoy and memories to make there and/or within relatively short distances. I'll definitely be returning for another stay at Casa Kaeli soon.

â€¨Cindyâ€¨Â & acirc;€¨â€¨We rented this Casa in January of 2011 and this is the best place to stay in Mexico. There were four couples and there was plenty of room to have your own space. The location was perfect. We did not rent a car and took the bus everywhere. We went to PV, Bucerias, La Cruz and Sayulata all by bus without any problems. We felt safe everywhere we went and the locals were very helpful and friendly. We rented kayaks and stand up boards and since the Casa Kaeli is on the beach, we really took advantage and kayaked and boarded right in front on the Casa. Felix the housekeeper is excellent and very friendly. Susan the owner will give you lots of information on restaurants and beaches and sights to see. We ate at Robertos on the hill in La Cruz, its a little more pricy but worth it. For authentic mexican we ate in La Cruz at the Cave (La Cava) and it was inexpensive and delicious! Also must do the street tacos in bucerias. We will definately be renting this house again. the pool is AWESOME and the accomodations is exactly as shown in the pictures only better in person! Mucho Gracias Susan for letting us stay at your place.

"6 Star accomodations!"
There is only been a few times were I have literally had my breath taken away.Entering this property for the first time was one of those times. This home is absolutely gorgeous! the open air design of this home was so nice and I often preferred drifting off on the built-in dining room bench outside and waking to the sound and beauty of the sea and mountains behind. This turned out to be a perfect vacation being in Puerto Vallarta the first time will and we have fallen in love with it. We plan on returning in 2011 and beyond."
